Spotlight on Aged Care: Insurance and risk factors facing aged care

Alison Choy Flannigan and guest Lyle Steffensen from Lockton discuss the potential risk and insurance implications of the proposed new Aged Care Bill for both individual board members and organisations in the aged care sector. The discussion covers crucial risk and insurance considerations for aged care boards, including the need to understand existing insurance coverage and the scope of cover for both individuals and the organisation. They also discuss who is included in the new definition of ‘responsible persons’, and the vital role of good governance in ensuring both business success and organisational viability.
